Ahern still popular, poll shows

BERTIE AHERN’S popularity in his own constituency has been unaffected by the controversies of the past ten day, a new opinion poll has shown.

The poll shows that Mr Ahern would garner an incredible 50% of the votes in Dublin Central, more than the combined support of all the other candidates combined.

The poll in the Irish Mail on Sunday shows that voters in his constituency agree that his reputation has been damaged by the revelation that he was paid over €60,000 by friends and supporters in 1993 and 1994.
